FolderTimeUpdate v1.72

Andrew Lee on 27 Aug 2023
  • 128KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 22 Aug 2023
  • Suggested by Checker

FolderTimeUpdate scans all files and folders under the base folder you choose and updates the 'Modified Time' of every folder according the latest modified time of the files stored in it.

This tool might be useful if, for example, you backup a cluster of folders and then restore them into another disk, but the backup program doesn't restore the original modified time of the folders.

Useful tool for updating folder dates according to the dates of the files within them. Extremely fast processing, making it especially useful for multilevel directories with a large number of folders.

@ vmars316: Alternate (Data) Streams are a data structure for holding additional structured data within a file in addition to the main data.
The Windows NTFS file system allows so-called Alternate Data Streams (ADS). With this function, data can be stored invisibly tied by the user to a file.

Dropbox had a bug a while back (https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Syncing-and-uploads/com-dropbox-attributes/m-p/63351) and polluted every file with an alternate data stream. Any copy action thereafter from our NTFS drive to a thumb drive (usually FAT32) was interrupted by a warning, "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?" Very annoying! AlternateStreamView quickly and easily fixes the problem, as discovered here (http://superuser.com/questions/814312/is-it-possible-to-remove-the-are-you-sure-you-want-to-copy-this-file-without-it)

MIKLO on 2017-08-25 14:21

I thought streams were small bodies of water that flow through the forest, sorry couldn't resist :) This really software really is helpful in finding and seeing data that was cleverly concealed until using this. Thanks for some helpful software another hit from Nirsoft, keep em coming please.

  • Added 'Photo - Date Taken' option to set the date/time when the photo was taken. This feature is similar to the 'EXIF - Generated Time' option, but it uses the Property System of Windows, which may work better in some situations. For example: the 'Photo - Date Taken' option will set the photo date/time even if the original .jpg file doesn't contain EXIF information.

Good simple program that can bulk shift time + or - for video files for example that has been taken in a different timezone without changing the camera time before the shots.
